Everything and anything core. Not just abs, but core. The p90x ab routine is nice, hanging leg raises are awesome as well. Other than the exercises, consciously over exaggerate it. Make sure your shoulders are back and your torso is rigid and straight. It might be a strain on the muscles at first but you'll get used to it over time. And avoid sitting for long periods if you can; it's shit for posture.

I tried over exaggerating my posture a while back, but I naturally just fell back into my normal poor posture. I've even looked into posture correctors to wear, but I'm not convinced that they work.

I used to slouch a bit myself in my teen years. I found what corrected it was a mental shift about how I viewed myself. Once I started to see myself as someone capable; someone powerful, I didn't have to remember to correct it. I enter and room, and I own that room. It's mine along with everything in it. When I actually felt powerful, it was only natural to make sure my posture was upright and square. Obviously this is a somewhat delusional mindset, and I'm not always the most powerful guy in the room, but it never hurts to act like you are.

its a 3 step process:
dont be straining like you're in boot camp and if you slouch for a second your sergeant is gonna yell in your face and force you to do 10 pushups. just focus on standing tall and confident. once you set your frame by doing these 3 steps, even if you relax your muscles a bit you won't slouch because your spine continues to hold yourself up (if that makes sense).
strength training is helpful but not mandatory. as /u/OGlancellannister stressed heavily, core is so important. i want to reiterate 6 pack abs are superficial (as in they are on the surface), but your core stabilizers underneath basically keep you from flopping like a fish. but also: back! strengthen your back, specifically your lats, specifically with pullups. if you cant do pullups, do assisted chair pullups. i actually think pullups are more important than core.

You might have to visit an orthopaedic doctor for skeletal alignment and remedies. It might just be that some joints in your skeleton are giving you a crooked posture. It's natural and based on the doctor's diagnosis, it could be fixed or not.
Don't worry too much about it. Seduction doesn't solely rely on this.

Look up "The Alexander Technique" on YouTube. It is a method of posture training that was originally designed to help actors project their voice better, and to project a better image through posture.

A tip I was given about my posture that really helped me was be more aware of your shoulder blades. Almost as if you are trying to "tuck" them behind your back. It will help pull your arms back so your shoulders aren't rolled forward.

Clean and Press/Jerk lifts. If you follow the proper form it forces you to shrug your shoulders back like /u/OGlancellannister recommends below.

Do yoga. If you consistently and properly practice yoga its going to pay huge returns on not only posture but your overall health. Guaranteed!!! But get a proper teacher coz you have to do it right with the proper breathing and positions and on an empty tummy / gut & bladder or you'll end up hurting yourself.
